Teeth never lie about your age. Veneers do.

Bruxism gives no warning. It wears the teeth down little by little, year after year, until one day the patient looks in the mirror and sees a smile they do not recognise. Short teeth, yellow, with a crowding that grew without anyone noticing.

That is what Gustavo brought with him when he came to the clinic. Years of clenching and grinding at night had left their mark. Not only on the aesthetics — on function too. His bite was compromised.

The plan was comprehensive: AM contact lens veneers to restore volume, shape and colour to every tooth, with an adjustment of the vertical dimension that re-established the bite and released the accumulated pressure.

The result was not just a new smile. It was a different face. Ten years younger. A mouth that worked the way it was supposed to work again.

Sometimes ceramic is not aesthetic. It is therapeutic.
